💡 Tips for a cheaper ticket
Money hackKeep two cards in two places
Carry one card in your wallet and hide a backup in your bag, so one lost wallet never ends the trip.
Flights hackSet price alerts, then wait
Turn on fare alerts for your route instead of checking every day – prices move up and down, alerts catch the dips.
